A company produces packets of soap powder labeled "Giant Size 32 Ounces." The actual weight of soap powder in such a box has a N

ormal distribution with a mean of 33 oz and a standard deviation of 0.7 oz. To avoid having dissatisfied customers, the company says a box of soap is considered underweight if it weighs less than 32 oz. To avoid losing money, it labels the top 5% (the heaviest 5%) overweight. What proportion of boxes is underweight (i.e., weigh less than 32 oz)? .9236 .0764 .2420 .7580

Answer:

0.0764

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 33, \sigma = 0.7

What proportion of boxes is underweight (i.e., weigh less than 32 oz)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 32. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{32 - 33}{0.7}

Z = -1.43

Z = -1.43 has a pvalue of 0.0764, which is the correct answr

Remember "SOH CAH TOA"


Sine = (Opposite/Hypotenuse)

Cosine = (Adjacent/Hypotenuse)

Tangent = (Opposite/Adjacent)


In this case, we will be using cosine, and our equation will be \frac{cos(28)}{1} =\frac{11}{x}


So firstly, cross-multiply. cos(28)*x=11


Next, divide both sides by cos(28), and your answer will be x=12.5

Y=1/2×-6 ×=-4 what is the solution to the system of equations
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

(-4, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the substitution method.  x = -4, so y = (1/2)x - 6 becomes:

y = (1/2)(-4) - 6, or y = -2 - 6, or y = -8.

The solution is (-4, -8).

-4x + (-2) = 3x + (-5)
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Let x = 1

LHS: -4(1)+(-2)=-4+(-2)=-6

RHS:3(1)+(-5)=3+(-5)=-2

Therefore -4x+(-2) is not equal to 3x+(-5)

Can someone help me wit #4 plzz

Answer: It represents the area of the two circular sides ("lids")

Explanation:

Imagine you made a cylinder out of 3 pieces of paper. The cylinder can be decomposed into two circular shapes (radius r) and one rectangular piece with two side lengths: one is "h", the other has to be long enough to go around each of the disks, so it has to be 2*pi*r long.

So the term 2*pi*r*h is the area of the rectangular piece and pi*r^2 is the area of each of the "lids" Since there are two of those, the term 2*pi*r^2 represents the area of the bottom and top lids.

Absolute value only removes the negative signs. Just multiply the numerator and the denominator
